LIT 3024 Spring 2018 Marotta

This course gives an in-depth look at the short story, a genre powerful enough to contain entire worlds in a mere handful of pages. Students should expect to closely analyze, write about, and discuss individual stories while maintaining an overarching awareness of genre conventions. Through such work, students will gain a body of knowledge crucial to the study of literature as a whole. Requirements include a presentation, polished writing assignments, and rigorous in-class discussions, among other activities.
